Stop adding “just a few more years” without knowing the math behind the decision.
In this live workshop, you’ll calculate your Freedom Number™ and see exactly where you stand.
Over the last 7 years, we surveyed 2,041 business owners and practitioners.
The typical self-reported monthly burn rate was $10,534.
But when we worked one-on-one with a select group to calculate their REAL numbers—analyzing every expense, every hidden cost, every lifestyle element they'd forgotten...
The ACTUAL monthly burn rate was $23,326.
One business owner just calculated their numbers yesterday and texted this:
These are not small miscalculations.
The average burn rate discrepancy is the difference between needing $2.5M for retirement and $5.5M.
When you're off by 200%+ on your basic lifestyle costs, every retirement plan, every exit strategy, every decision is built on quicksand.
The biggest mistake business owners make is assuming more revenue equals more freedom.
They think: "Once I hit [X number], I'll have options."
But revenue is irrelevant if you don't know your real underlying numbers.
Here’s the uncomfortable truth:
Most practice owners don’t know what they truly spend each year.
They don’t know how much invested capital would replace that income.
They don’t know what their business would need to sell for to make work optional.
When you don't know your real numbers, you don’t know if you’re financially free.
So the default decision becomes:
“I'll just do a few more years.”
A few more years of carrying operations.
A few more years of being the bottleneck.
A few more years of tying your identity to the business.
Not because it’s the right move.
But because you haven’t run the math.
In The Exit Equation™ Workshop, you’ll calculate:
• Your true personal burn rate
• The invested asset base required to fund it
• The gap between where you are and where you need to be
• What that means for exiting now vs committing to another 3–5 years intentionally
No vague retirement targets.
No hoping the business sells for “enough.”
No drifting into another half decade by default.
Just clarity on your real Freedom Number™.
Once you know it, decisions get simpler.
You’re either closer to the end goal than you thought.
Or you see what you need to do to bridge the gap.
Either way, you stop guessing.
